What's your preferred File Manager
Darwin:
Just to note: I've uninstalled all but two of 16 file managers. I'm left with DOpus 9 and XYPlorer installed... I *think* I suffer from the symptoms described in this article:

Because I'm a bit of a packrat where books and software are concerned :o

My current favorite file manager is Vista's explorer + qttabbar. The fact it forgets folder settings annoy me, but the sorting and grouping options seems to be far better then any other alternative.
I also sometimes use q-dir

That one is really interesting, . It's multi pane and uses the same "engine" as windows explorer does. So under say vista you not only have all the views explorer does, you also have the same sort and grouping abilities. Plus it has color coding too. It's a little ugly and strange at pars, but over all it's a rather handy file manager. It even has one of the weirdest ways to install. Either run the downloaded program to install, or rename the installer file to q-dir.exe to run the file manager in portable mode
I also use muCommander sometimes.

Pretty standred orthodox file manager, except it has an option to browse a web address as a virtaul file system

Just wanted to say thanks for reminding me of this one Steven. I'm sure I'd downloaded and tried it at some stage previously, but it has been a real joy reacquainting myself with this software.
It really does have a lot under the hood, and it does take a little to get used to the keymappings.
